As the complexity of targeted molecules increases in modern organic synthesis, chemoselectivity is recognized as an important factor in the development of new methodologies. Chemoselective nucleophilic addition to amide car-bonyl centers is a challenge because classical methods require harsh reaction conditions to overcome the poor elec-trophilicity of the amide carbonyl group. We have successfully developed a reductive nucleophilic addition of mild nu-cleophiles to tertiary amides, secondary amides, and N-methoxyamides that uses the Schwartz reagent [Cp2ZrHCl]. The reaction took place in a highly chemoselective fashion in the presence of a variety of sensitive functional groups, such as methyl esters, which conventionally require protection prior to nucleophilic addition. The reaction will be applicable to the concise synthesis of complex natural alkaloids from readily available amide groups.
Selective ortho -bromination of substituted benzaldoximes using Pd-catalyzed C-H activation: Application to the synthesis of substituted 2-bromobenzaldehydes

Substituted 2-bromobenzaldehydes were synthesized from benzaldehydes using a three-step sequence involving a selective palladium-catalyzed ortho-bromination as the key step. O-Methyloxime serves as a directing group in this reaction. A rapid deprotection of substituted 2-bromobenzaldoximes afforded substituted 2-bromobenzaldehydes with good overall yields.
